SELF-PORTRAIT
In the quest to discover my “Atlantis in Architecture,” sustainability has become my guiding star. My designs go beyond aesthetics, focusing on crafting architecture that captivates the eye and harmonizes with its surroundings, memories, and site context. With a deep appreciation for both physical and non-physical materials, I infuse purposeful design to enhance the beauty of spaces.
As a master’s student, I am committed to exploring innovative sustainability tools that reshape architectural practices. I envision an Atlantis where environmental stewardship converges with sophistication. Our world deserves better than building-as-usual –design and engineering must collaborate to reimagine spaces that enrich our lives.
We enable user-centered design, prioritizing access to natural light and air to enhance occupant productivity. Our approach seeks to create site-specific, dynamic environments that evoke a sense of identity and delight. Through comprehensive design strategies, we aim to simplify and optimize building systems, resulting in structures that are smaller, cost-effective, and robust.
At the heart of our philosophy is achieving high performance in harmony with inspiring architecture. We are driven to transform the built environment, ensuring that our spaces not only function efficiently but also uplift the human experience. Sustainability isn’t just a goal; it’s a fundamental principle woven into every facet of our design journey.

MAKOKO’S ARCHITECTURAL REVOLUTION FOR HARMONY AND PROSPERITY
ROSY’S PROJECT
UIA CONGRESS IN COPENHAGEN
Venture into the heart of Lagos, Nigeria, and you’ll discover “Rethinking Resources in Makoko,” a visionary architectural marvel poised to redefine urban living. Amidst the gentle sway of the lagoon, a sustainable oasis emerges, weaving together the threads of community, ecology, and innovation. Our journey begins in Makoko, a floating slum city where inspiration meets resilience. This transformative project is more than bricks and mortar; it’s a testament to the boundless potential of local resources and human ingenuity. By embracing the ebb and flow of the lagoon, the project harnesses the rhythm of sustainable fishing practices and local food production, breathing life into the community and nurturing self-reliance. This architectural symphony dances to the tune of minimalism, a mindful choreography that optimizes materials without sacrificing comfort. As the community thrives, the design adapts, ensuring a future where
resource consumption is minimized and possibilities are endless. Central courtyards blossom as hubs of interaction, echoing with laughter and connection, a testament to the indomitable spirit of unity.
“Rethinking Resources in Makoko” goes beyond bricks and mortar; it’s a tapestry of services woven into the urban fabric.

Rooms mimic the characteristics of the social spaces designed as self-manageable cubes of one’s own. In order to promote the local architecture and refer to the existing building façade details, the entire exterior of the new volume is covered with flexible window shutters which students are also free to open, close, and change the angle according to the sunlight.

WAI’S ODYSSEY TO REVITALIZE MARINE LIFE AND EMPOWER COMMUNITIES
MARITIME BUILDING COMPETITION
I-UAKA WAI represents a pioneering leap in marine agricultural technology, focusing on aquaculture, to safeguard our oceans and their diverse ecosystems. This visionary project harnesses the power of nature to address pressing environmental and socio-economic challenge`s. Our mission is two-fold: to provide a reliable food source while nurturing the local economy, especially for indigenous communities. No longer will fishermen return with empty nets and hungry bellies, and marine creatures will thrive in restored habitats. The sea, once burdened with plastic, will reclaim its pristine sands.
Situated in the heart of Indonesia, a maritime nation rich in resources, I-UAKA WAI stands as a beacon of sustainable development. Our innovation takes root on Halura Island, where the Indian Ocean and the Australian sea converge, shaping a unique ecosystem. At the core of our concept is a revolutionary approach to floating aquaculture.
ISLAND, INDONESIA
By harmonizing mussels, seaweed, and fish within a carefully orchestrated ecosystem cycle, we ensure minimal impact on the underwater habitat. The ingenious floating system safeguards the delicate balance of marine life, setting a new standard for responsible aquaculture.
Inspired by the success of Norway’s AI-powered fish farming systems, I-UAKA WAI integrates cutting-edge technology into our design. Through thoughtful adaptation and creative implementation, our project introduces an AI-driven dimension to Indonesian fish farming. We aim to inspire both local fishery practices and government policy, creating a ripple effect of positive change. The journey towards a thriving aquatic future starts with I-UAKA WAI, where innovation meets environmental stewardship, and tradition dances with modernity. Join us in shaping a brighter, more sustainable Indonesia, guided by the gentle rhythm of the sea.”
